Hacking Why does NTSE look so good

[Col70]

Just got a 42"plasma and when I boot Biohazard0 (JAP) and SMG (US NTSE) both from USB, they look awsome and yet when I boot the PAL versions, they blurred and pale?

It's because your Plasma is shit and can't handle PAL the right way.

 

[ocdetective]

Either that or your TV Picture is setup as just NTSC rather than Auto.

Well it's a PAL plasma and the blurred image is pretty much the same on everyone elses plasma that Ive seen on other sets. Its just odd that the NTSE games are so clear??????

As for my Plasma being shit, how would you know.... have you seen it?

Well, just force NTSC video mode for all your games. =P

damn whats up the hostility, you sound like someone shit in your oatmeal. Dont be mad cause he has a nice plasma.

 

[manias]

are they being displayed on both pal and ntsc as 480p?

 

[Col70]

No idea how tell if games run on 480...
How do I force Pal games to NTSE?

Badly setup TV, as PAL is higher res than NTSC and should look sharper. NTSC is traditionally more blurry than PAL.

 

[Det1re]

NTSC = 60 Hz == 60 fps processed, 30 out
PAL = 50 Hz == 50 fps processed, 25 out

Often plasma screens are susceptible for blurry images. Blurry images result from to low framerates. Normally to low framerates are circumvent by interpolating to images to get an picture between those. So that's what a Plasma TV (maybe LCD as well) do. The difference between interpolating from 25 respectively 30 fps may result in a difference, which is noticable by human. Newer Plasma screens should still be able to avoid bluring by software...

However as a rule of thumb: the bigger your screen is, the more vulnerable it is for blurring.
So if it's real "blur", that might be your answer.


I hope I explained it the right way.

Also, it's NTSCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC. No E in there at all.

I agree, this place seems to be coming more and more hostile. Is there a shortage of weed or something?

apologies o' wise one. will you be taking it easy on people today?

 

[WiiPower]

I totally agree with Det1re, but i also think the cheaper the tv, the more blur you get with 576i.



Anyways, why don't you compare PAL60(PAL480i/p) with NTSC? There shouldn't be that much of a difference, if there's a difference at all.

use the thx optimizer than tweak the settings a bit that's what i did on my 60" PAL plasma and every game i play on it looks perfect

 

[Col70]

Seariously guys - there is a vast difference between PAL and NTSC games. Oh and I am booting these via Channels/USB/HDD?

I already did the THX optimizer from the Cars movie

 

[Meannekes]

ehm from technical side, #PAL looks a little bit better

Yep, on a properly setup TV then PAL SD (ED) will look better than NTSC.
